[ONGOING] Taehyung never imagined that marrying a complete stranger to save his company would be the easy part.
But life had a surprising twist in store...
What he doesn't know is that his soon-to-be husband, Jeon Jungkook, has been harboring a hig...
"You just what?" Taehyung cocks an eyebrow at him now pressing the button for elevator.
Jungkook was nervously standing beside Taehyung, their hands no longer interlocked as they were away from people's eyes.
Tae's question was still hanging in air when an extremely distressed Jin exited from the elevator coming face to face with them. Worry was written all over his face.
Jungkook's eyes momentarily examined the new comer.
"Tae" the said person addressed his husband.
"Hyung what happened?" Tae asked instead, forgetting all about his conversation with Jungkook as he now witnessed Jin's agitated state.
"Tae..J-Jimin.."
Jungkook's looked up at hearing the familiar name. Isn't Jimin Tae's best friend? He thought.
"Jiminie? What's with him hyung?" Tae asked.
"He is in hospital."
A loud gasp left Tae's lips at once. He glanced at Jungkook-finding him equally jittered at the statement- and then back at Jin. "H-hospital? But why?"
"His car crashed" Jin declared the damage..
Tae felt like his knees would give up any minute now. "H-how's him?" He asked, hoping with everything in him that his bestfriend would be okay.
"I don't know Tae. I received a call from his parents and we need to go to hospital right now." Jin answers hastily.
Just as he was about to turn to leave, Tae felt Jungkook's hand catch his arm. "I will go with you" he says. "Please"
Tae nodded.

"Can you drive a little faster Jungkook.." Tae uttered in small voice. His head was hanging low. Eyes pooling with unshed tears.
He had no idea what awaits him in hospital. Or what exactly has happened to Jimin.
I can't lose him. I can't lose him. I can't lose him. I can't... He was continuously repeating in his mind.
By the corner of his eyes, Jungkook noticed Tae's hands tightly fisted.
His eyes remained on the road and so does his one hand on steering wheel but the other hand reached out for his husband's clenched hand, gently laced the fingers with his own.
"He will be alright." Jungkook murmured, "Be brave for him yeah?"
Tae didn't reply..

"His right arm is fractured. Knee cap is dislocated and there are few other injuries. Thankfully the patient is out of danger but we have to keep him under observation for at least next 24 hours", the doctor informed.
Mr Park held his crying wife while Tae hugged Jin, sighing out in relief.
He couldn't imagine his life without Jimin, his soulmate.
"Can we see him doctor?" Taehyung asked.
"Yes but not more than two persons" doctor says before walking off.
Mr and Mrs Park went first. While Tae, Jin and Jungkook waited outside.
Tae was still leaning himself to Jin's side, unaware of how certain someone was feeling about it...

Jungkook's POV:
I hate myself for thinking like this now.. But who is him? He looks pretty close to Taehyung.
What if...?
No.No.No. this can't be. Right? The contract clearly said 'No relationships' for both of us until the year ends.
Oh.. The Contract. The Year. The Irony.
Besides it meant no official relationships. Of course he would be emotionally connected to his past relationships..
A L-lover maybe?
My eyes unconsciously drift towards them. he looks so devastated. Of course he do. He was at verge of losing his bestfriend. And here I am.. being my pathetic self.. thinking about something that may not even be true.
I hate myself for being so selfish right now..
"Jungkook?" Suddenly, I hear him.
"Yes?" I look up at his face, his beautiful eyes have tears in them that I absolutely don't like to see.
"I was saying if you wanna come with me inside to see Jimin?" He asks.
"Of course" I say, getting up.
As soon as we enter the room and he sees Jimin lying unconscious on the hospital bed, number of tubes and machines attached to his body, a sob escaped Tae's mouth, toring my heart apart..
"Jiminie" his voice is badly shaking. He closes his eyes as he nears the bed. "Your Taetae is here"
Tae lets out a smile. A sad one. I don't know how long I can bear this.. the pain in his voice is killing me..
That's when I know. I can't just stand here and watch him cry his heart out..
I don't care if he will hate me for this..
"Tae..?"
He hums. Too drowned in misery to even acknowledge what I called him. His back is facing me, giving me the courage to finally ask,
"Can I..Can I hug you?" My voice came out far too breathy.
He stills for a split second then turns around, actually looks alarmed. He's staring at me in silent terror, perhaps too stunned to speak.
And I am about to take it all back.
But then he nods.
I walk up to him in slow, measured steps and when I finally reach him.
I pull him, To me.
____________
Taehyung's POV:
He tugs me forward gently against his chest. His arms fall around me carefully as if still giving me the chance to pull away if I am uncomfortable. That he'll understand if I want to back away.
If I want to.
I can't find a single reason to pull away, From him.
I press closer, hiding my face in soft folds of his shirt. "I thought I will never see Jimin again" I mumble.. he runs a hand over my hair. "He's going to be okay" he assures. I feel his arms wrap more tightly around me, his chest rising and falling. My left hand slips around his ribs, up his back and Jungkook freezes, his heart racing under my ear.
My eyes fall closed as I feel myself nestle to his warm heart. I felt like I would never hear the wind blow or the storm beat again if I remained in his embrace.
